So I have had my Samsung gear 2 for two weeks now and love it. I have it paired with my Samsung S5 Active which is so great! After doing so research in the apps that can be downloaded to my samsung gear 2, I noticed that I do not have many apps in the samsung gear app store. But when I watch people on youtube with their samsung gear 2 they have sooo many more apps than I do, like the great apps like Fleksy and other cool apps for the gear 2.
After talking to different people on youtube that are showing videos of their app store and all the many different apps than I have. One of the people told me that since I have a Samsung S5 Active, I will not get ALL the apps in the gear mangager store. He was also saying about changing my model number to the normal Galaxy S5, so it will access more apps I guess?
Any help or links for rooting my samsung s5 active to being able to have more apps on my samsung gear 2 would be soo helpful!
I am in the same boat as you. I have the exact same issues and I have been researching all over the Internet and have had no luck. I would really love some help from the professionals on here!
I will post on here if I find any other info.

Has anyone used a Galaxy Gear with their Google Play Edition S4 running 4.4? I'm interested in getting one, but I can't find the Gear app in the Play Store (I only found "Samsung GALAXY NFC Tagwriter") and I've not been able to find anything that tells me one way or the other if it will work with the Google Play Edition of the S4. Looks too iffy to drop $300 without a better chance of success.
Thanks!

I downloaded the manual for the Gear and it says:
The Charging Cradle contains an embedded TecTile that is used in conjunction with your smartphone’s NFC technology to both acquire the Gear Manager application and aid in automatically pairing the two devices.

So I guess that explains why I can't find the app in the Play Store. It would still be nice to know if anyone with a GPE S4 has been able to use the Gear with success or not.
Thanks!
yes its very frustrating, the Gear uses "gear Manager" which is a Samsung App from their store.
you can install the Gear stubb and the gear manager manually but there is things not working correctly like notifications, I have been searching for weeks for a solution, Devs are you able to include it as part of your Roms?
There is a thread about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529113
[Q] i9505g with Galaxy Gear?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
I currently own the LG G3 but after a lot of research I am thinking of switching over to the Note 4. The only thing that I would really miss about the lg is the quick remote app. I have used many remote apps but it is hands down the best. I have extracted the apk file and installed it on my girlfriends S5 to see if it would work on samsung or not, it did not. Is there away to get this app to work on the Note 4? I know that it comes with the Samsung smart remote but my LG has been way more successful than my girlfriends Samsung at accessing any and all tvs, surround sounds, etc.
EDIT: I probably should of posted this in the android apps and games thread. If a Mod would please move this I would appreciate it, thank you and sorry.
I remember reading that the S5 can have a S6 custom ROM installed and run the Gear VR
Is it possible to run with Gear VR without this on the S5?
I know originally when being designed, the S5 was compatible, but then Samsung dropped this.
Yes I know I'm a little bit uneducated in the ways of the phone, but I don't want to spend a fortune to find out its not really that much better than Cardboard.
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I did check in search first
Hi Friends!
Has Any One Tried Gear S2?
I was wondering if the Samsung Gear S2 was compatible with The Lenovo ZUK Z1.
Or if you Could atleast install the App Samsung Gear:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager&hl=en
If anyone tried it, I would be highly on your debt if you would be so kind enough to share your oppinion, review or results please.
:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Thanks in Advance!!
I just bought a ZUK and was shocked to see the Samsung Gear App beeing marked as incompatible. But as it turned out there ist just one extra step to perform and the Z1 and the S2 work together flawlessly (at least as far I as I tested the connection during the last 10 minutes
That is what I did:
Installed the "Gear Plugin" and the "Samsung Accessory Service" apps from playstore and downloaded the Samsung Gear App from apkpure.com. As soon as it was installed everything worked.

Hi there,
If I understand correctly we can connect a Gear S2 with Zuk Z1, and fully compatible right ?
is my understanding correct, as I am in a process to order a Samsung Gear S2.
Thanks,
Erik
Yep fully compatible
Cool, many thanks danimarti98 for your confirmation ... I will take one
Update:
Samsung Gear S2 received, I tried to install Samsung Gear App but did not find it on the Play Store "because Not officially supported by Samsung".
Reading this thread more carefully I noticed that it needs to be installed from apkpure.com .
After having installed it all was working like a charm :good:
Thanks again
Hey everyone I've noticed a lot of questions in forms concerning compatibility with the S3 frontier and the OnePlus 6t however a few months old. I currently have a Samsung phone that I want to change out to the OnePlus however I don't want to give up the functionality of the smartwatch in regards to Samsung pay etc. Is anyone using a non rooted OnePlus and the S3 frontier with full capabilities?
I have the g3 Frontier. Once I downloaded the Samsung software, everything works, including samsung pay.

Awesome now is there anything that you can't do with the watch and a OnePlus 6t or does it have full functionality? did you download the Samsung pay app from the play store or did you have to find a special APK what. Also what about Samsung health?
